Gegen den Strom – 40 Jahre mit dem Rollstuhl um die Welt

Overview

This is what awaits you: “What now ?!”, Andreas Pröve asks himself desperately when he wakes up with a broken spine at the age of 23 after a motorcycle accident. “Can I ever travel again?” India is the dream land and the ultimate benchmark for him. Because if you succeed in exploring the chaotic subcontinent as a paraplegic, nothing will stop him. Three years later, thanks to the help of the locals, he mastered his first wheelchair trip and thus came particularly close to the country and its people. This in turn enables an adventurous life as a travel journalist: Andreas follows the Ganges across India, from Calcutta to the source.
